Belarusian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> is competing in her third Grand Slam final this year at the 2025 U.S. Open.<\/p>\n

Sabalenka, ranked No. 1 in the world, takes on American tennis star Amanda Anisimova (No. 8) in the women\u2019s singles final on Saturday, September 6. After winning the first set 6-3, the U.S. Open\u2019s official X account posted an awkward photo of Sabelenka\u2019s boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The U.S Open\u2019s account quoted a Taylor Swift song and wrote, \u201cBest believe I\u2019m still bejeweled \ud83c\udfb6,\u201d which left online users confused. An X user asked Grok, the app\u2019s AI, \u201cWho\u2019s in the image,\u201d as they did not tag Frangulis.<\/p>\n

Grok answered, \u201cThat\u2019s Travis Kelce, the NFL player, spotted in the crowd at the US Open. The \u2018bejeweled\u2019 caption nods to Taylor Swift\u2019s song, and those necklaces fit the vibe!\u201d<\/p>\n

After numerous X users noted that the person in the photo was not Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce<\/a>, Grok corrected itself. Kelce, of course, was not at the U.S. Open in Queens, New York, after playing in the Chiefs\u2019 Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> in Brazil the night before. The Chiefs lost 27-21.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for the correction! Upon verifying, you\u2019re right\u2014that\u2019s Georgios Frangulis, Aryna Sabalenka\u2019s boyfriend, not Travis Kelce. The \u201cbejeweled\u201d lyric led to the mix-up,\u201d it posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans Had Mixed Reactions to The Untagged Photo of Georgios Frangulis<\/p>\n

Fans had strongly mixed reactions to the U.S. Open sharing a singular photo of the 36-year-old Oakberry CEO. One fan posted<\/a>, \u201cnot his fault i think but i get the ick every time i see him \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d.\u201d<\/p>\n

One woman wrote<\/a>, \u201cthis is insulting to everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another fan posted<\/a>, \u201cFuture HUSBAND of our queen! Suffering in silence in the box so as not to distract her. What love!\u201d One guy posted<\/a>, \u201cSabalenka be treatin her mans right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabalenka, of course, is deeply in love with Frangulis and grateful for his support. \u201cThere was a really tough period where I was really happy to have him by my side, always cheering me up, always making sure that we are doing some fun stuff,\u201d she told People<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I make sure I kind of forget about tennis and focus on the good things and enjoy my life. Even when things are going wrong in my career. So yeah, he was my biggest support and yeah, really happy to have him by my side.\u201d<\/p>\n
